I was once employed in a plastics factoryloading and unloading a machine that cut shapes out of the plastic.
I found the job so mind-numbing, I'd deliberately do it wrong to break the machine every once ina while. The little cutting tool would snap off and some man would have to come and fix it, and I enjoyed chatting to him for 20 minutes while he fixed it, and then I'd have to get on again. I was told the cutting bits cost £200 each, but I considered breaking them three times a week in order to speak to other humans a price woth paying....

haha!I used to work in a factory that made pizza. I work in the area where the crusts were made. Whenever I was feeling bored I would "accidentally" get a pan stuck in the press.
The best part was that I had also learned how to fix it, so I would get a pat on the back from the boss, and an extra 20 minute break.

Argh,I've had a few of those jobs; the worst was cutting big bits of waste copper into small bits of waste copper in a copper-sulphate making factory. The only person I could talk to was a nasty little paedophile, and then only during breaks 'cause it was so noisy. I took to accidentally jamming the giant guillotine to see if I could make it explode. It did, and I legged it. That job really sucked.
